The results highlight that 60% met the deadline for the delivery of the activities, the students obtained grades close to the maximum limit, whose focus was the relationship with the team, and in the group activities the overall score was higher than the individual one. It is concluded, therefore, that the use of active methodologies in the teaching of transportation in this discipline contributed to an active, participatory, collaborative and interactive pedagogical approach centered on the student, however, the challenge is to stimulate their engagement in group activities, attend to the learning and evaluation processes of the discipline, as well as the student's approval in this curricular component.
